Hi Ali

The quick (and long) answer is NO.

There is no censorship; postings are only deleted or edited if they fail to comply with the Forum Rules. Basically what is not allowed:

racist attacks
personal attacks
commercial links or advertising
anything which encourages illegal activities
vulgar or obscene material
postings in a language other than English

Perhaps I should have been more specific - I was referring to the fact that the moderators of this forum have evidently condoned the censorship of a publicly broadcasted television programme about property development in the TRNC by allowing its members to utilise the forum itself as a pro-censorship platform which in turn led to the aforementioned programme being cancelled.

Hi Ali Dayi

The alternative would have been to censor free speech on this Forum both those for and against the broadcast of this programme.

As far as I know the programme has not been cancelled.

Hello Lana,

Your point is well taken.

However, doesn't the very fact that the programme had to be rescheduled amount to a form of censorship?

But not correctly. Of course this forum is censored. Anything that deviates from the pro Annan, pro Turkish , pro loving English thieves living in military occupied areas, pro Cyprus Mail, IN FACT ANYTHING THAT IS ANTI GREEK CYPRIOT THIS FORUM APPEARS TO ENDORSE.

stop crying...if channel 5 were so sure about the legal side of things then i'm sure they would've shown it originally.
